-New chappie,I guess you guys haven't figure out, all the names of my chappies are Taylor Swift songs.

-Disclaimer, Taylor Swift's songs, last chappie Demi Lovato's song. Rick Riordans characters. Dancing with the Stars is also not mine.

-And a note for "asimplecritic" I accept constructive criticism but you know what, the point of a "Percabeth story" IS TO BE mushy, in case you didn't get that. And yes, they do have to be at least a LITTLE OOC to flow with the story. Telling me it had some punctuation mistakes and people were OOC would have been fine. So if you're going to be a critic do it with some logical sense.

Chapter 3: Today was a Fairy Tale

The mysterious woman walked over to her desk and spoke into the microphone. She evacuated everybody and when we were about to leave she said:
"No, I don't think so, you son of Poseidon are staying here"

Grover pushed me and went in front of me. I uncapped riptide and thought the things we do for love.

Annabeth's POV:

I felt so good inside; I never expected to be with Percy for a second time. And plus today was Valentine's Day. Omygods I need to get something for Percy I realized. I put on my camp Half Blood t-shirt and some denim shorts. I went over not even bothering to brush my hair, but I pulled it into a ponytail. I walked over to the water and I got into the shallow part of the water. It was not even knee high yet, but I stepped on something. I leaned over and picked it up. Before me was a shell, not just an ordinary shell but a trident shaped shell. It was perfect. I went to my cabin and washed it off and searched for a box or bag. I had nothing, nada; I laid down on the bed stumped. Until it struck me,

Hephaestus cabin

Yes, I can get them to make me a box.

"Hey, I uh…need something"

"What?"Aaron one of the boys from the cabin.

"A box"

"Box?"

"Yeah, a box you've never heard of one"

"Any specific way, no shape?"

"Can you make it trident shaped?"

"Maybe"

"Okay, what's the catch, Aaron?"

"No catch, I'll do it but for something in return"

"What do you want money, drachmas"

"No, a kiss"

"Oh, eww, eww ah, eww *gags*"

"Well then I guess no box"

"No, fine I'll do it, but first you make the box and we trade it halfway"

"Deal, be back here in about two hours"

I left all nervous, what if Percy came in when I kissed him. That's exactly what would happen then we'd have a fight and ugh. Until I noticed outside in front of each cabin were flyers, and when I reached my cabin was a flyer. There was going to be a Valentine's Day dance, and in my head I thought YES!

Percy's POV:

This was not good it was another Cerberus.

"Hey, Grover you got another one of those rubber balls?"

"No, you?"

"No, search the store"

We searched for some dog toy, but this was a flower shop, no use. So we had to fight it. The dog drooled and it was the size of a pool.

"Ugh, that's disgusting"

The Cerberus roared in my face sending wet drool all over me. We ran and hid, and I texted:

Hey, fighting Cerberus can we meet later?"

"Percy, no time for texting"

The Cerberus found us so I slashed it near its eye, but not quite. But then I got an idea. I grabbed one of the red roses from where I got them before and I carefully pulled off the flower.
"Man, what are…you doing?"

"Trust me"

So I ripped the newspaper off and waved it in front of the dog.

"Hey, mutt…FETCH!"

I aimed the thorny stick towards the tonsils of the dog. The middle one cried in agony as I told Grover:

"RUN, it's going to vomit!"

And it did, never touch your tonsils unless you're trying to throw up. And we left the flower shop and the only good thing was, I got extra red roses.

I had a text:

What do u mean fighting Cerberus, where r u?

So I texted back:

Don't worry about it, we got rid of it

I shut my phone and asked Grover if we could drop by Hallmark. He agreed and we were now In Hallmark.

Annabeth's POV

It was time to go pick up the box, but then I texted:

R U coming over within the next 15minutes

I heard a funny ding:

New Text

He would be back, he said he already was finished with what he was doing and was headed for camp.

So I walked over to the Hephaestus cabin and I could sense a worried look on my face.

"Here's your uh, box now pucker up sweet cheeks"

The door opened and I already knew who it was.

"Kiss me now Annabeth you promised if I did this you'd kiss me!"

"Fine" So I leaned in and so did he but right before our lips touched I smacked him, hard. It felt good. And I zipped past Percy pulling him with me out the door.

"What was that about?"He asked. I hope he didn't think I was with Aaron.

"Meet me after dinner, okay?"

"O-kaay" he was obviously shocked.

He was about to leave when I said:

"And Percy, dress nicely"

I left with a grin and felt all "fluttery" inside. Walking to my cabin I was stumped, I may have told Seaweed brain to dress nicely but I can't, I didn't have anything. I closed the closet door and thought hard I wished magically some beautiful dress just popped from nowhere. Wow, had I really let myself think that way. I had to stop believing in fairytales and pay attention to the real world. So with confidence now I opened my closet door and I swear an extra hanger was there. I got a hold of the hanger and noticed it was silvery with a gold ribbon wrapped around it. Hanging from the end of the gold ribbon was a note.

Never stop believing

-Aphrodite

I could have hugged her if she was here and the dress was perfect.

Percy's POV(and sorry I keep changing POV's)

I had no idea why Annabeth told me to 'dress nicely', but I found out as soon as I got to my cabin. One word,

Dance

I could NOT dance, even though I had danced with Annabeth before I was not fit to be on Dancing with the Stars or anything. So instead I went with the flow as you would say and then when I opened my closet a tux was inside my closet. And I certainly didn't buy it. It had a note:

Follow your heart

It was from Aphrodite, but who cares it was a tux, whatever although it was kind of creepy she was 'watching' us.

2HOURS LATER

I was ready as I could ever be and I had my teddy bear with chocolates and red roses. So I left my cabin and headed to the pavilion and I imagined we weren't having dinner that whatever we ate would be at the dance. As I left I didn't see Annabeth which made me slightly worried she wouldn't come. But anyway there were two long tables with food and men in tuxedos serving various little snacks. Everybody was dressed all fancy with dresses and tuxedos. Who knew everybody could get so formal, and so quickly? I didn't think Aphrodite helped every single one of these individuals, or satyrs. I looked for Annabeth in case I was the one late, but she didn't seem to be here yet. I saw Grover was stuffing his face so I joined him in the meantime.

"Hey, Grover"

"Percy, you came out of all people you're here" Grover said surprised.

"Yup"

The crowd turned as someone in a silver dress approached. And when I noticed it was Annabeth I dropped the tiny piece of chicken that I half ate. I wiped off my tux as Annabeth came towards me and everybody was still in awe. She wore a silvery dress which went well with her grey eyes; it was somewhere about knee length maybe a bit longer and it had flowers on the bottom as it flowed with ripples on the bottom. The top had a fat strip in the middle that formed lines. Her blonde curls were slung and brushed around the front of her shoulders and she wore a barrette in her hair. The barrette was an owl that had its wings spread out.(Barrette and dress are viewable on my page)

"Wow Annabeth no wonder you came semi-late"

"Shouldn't I be fashionably late?"She asked.

"Girl, you look smoking hot" Grover said.

Annabeth gave him a look like he was some stalker freak.

"You do, but I got my eye on someone else" Grover said and headed for a girl I didn't recognize.

Just as suddenly he said that a slow song came on.

"Are you going to ask me or what, Seaweed brain?"Annabeth asked.

"Oh right, Wise girl may I have this dance?"

"Well duh!" she said which made me feel good, I don't know why but it did.

I put my hands on her hips and she slung her arms on my shoulders. We danced but then I remembered I had to give her my gift.

"I got this for you" I gave her the teddy bear, chocolates, and roses and she thanked me and gave me a tiny trident shaped box. It wasn't very heavy but I opened it and inside was a trident shaped shell. Who knew you could find one like that.

"Did you find this like this?"

"Yes"

"You know I'm sure I can make it a necklace" I said as a matter of factly.

But before I could say anything else Annabeth had her lips on mine and we kissed. It was long, but not too long, and it was nice. I enjoyed myself and the music changed which also changed my life. It was a perfect song to describe my night.

Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
